NOTICE OF RACE
ORGANISING AUTHORITY (OA)
The GLOBE40 is organised from June 2021 to March 2022 by the SIRIUS EVENEMENTS company, an establishment
affiliated to the French Sailing Federation (FFVOILE).
The notation ‘[DP]’ in a rule of the NOR means the penalty for an infringement of this rule may, at the Jury’s
discretion, be less than a disqualification.
1 / RULES
The race will be governed by:
1.1 The regulations as outlined in the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) in use
1.2 The Regulations of the French Sailing Federation (Fédération Française de Voile) or the country from which
the race starts
1.3 The prescriptions of the FFVoile translated for foreign competitors in the appendix or the prescriptions of the
Sailing Federation in the country from which the race starts.
1.4 WORLD SAILING’s Offshore Special Regulations (OSR), category 0 monohulls.
A technical note about the implementation of the OSR category monohulls on Class40 craft will be communi-
cated at the NAUTIC Paris boat show on 7 December 2019 at the latest.
1.5 The CLASS40’s Class Rules.
With regards to the number of sails allowed aboard, the OA and Class40 will put forward an evolution of the
existing rules to be implemented for the NAUTIC Paris boat show on 7 December 2019 at the latest.
1.6 The following RRS are modified:
- The RRS part 2: RRS Part 2 applies, for each leg, up to 30 miles after the start line and again 30 miles
before the finish line for each part of the course covered in daylight hours. These rules will be replaced by
part B (Steering and Sailing) of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS)
for the sections of the course covered in darkness and for the rest of the course.
- RRS 41 (Outside help) and 45 (Hauling out, making fast, anchoring): modified by NOR 16
- RRS 47.1 (Limitations on equipment and crew): modified as follows: “boats may take spare equipment on
board during the race with the written permission of Race Management and in accordance with the Class
Rules”.
- RRS 51 (Movable ballast): Delete the first 2 sentences and replace with: “All stacking of movable equipment
for the purpose of changing trim or stability is permitted within the following limits: inside the boat,
with the exception of batteries, all other heavy equipment which could damage the boat or cause injury
must be solidly and permanently attached, except when these are moved. Food, water and fuel jerry cans,
safety equipment (except life rafts and/or equipment sealed in place), hardware and spares can be
stowed in boxes and stacked provided that these boxes are firmly attached to the boat. Sails can be freely
stacked. Sail bags must not be watertight”.
- RRS 52 (Manual power): modified as follows: boats are allowed to use an energy source other than manual
force for the operation of an automatic pilot and to manoeuvre the ballast system.
- RRS 55 (Trash disposal): Add a second sentence: “However throwing in the water small amounts of what is
generally accepted as biodegradable material or other food waste is allowed.”
- The following RRS will be modified in the Sailing Instructions:
RRS 44.1 (Make a penalty), RRS 61 (Protest requirements), RRS 62 (Redress), RRS 63 (Hearings), RRS 64
(Decisions) and RRS 66 (Reopening a hearing).

event.
20/ RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ORGANISER AND COMPETITORS.
20.1 Skippers participate in the event at their own risk and fully accept that choosing to do so is their own
responsibility. It is the sole responsibility of each skipper to decide whether or not to take the start of
the event or continue with it, as regards his or her competence, the equipment at their disposal, the
wind strength, the weather forecasts, etc. Any information that any member of the OA is in a position
to provide before or during the event, for example a gale warning, will constitute one detail among
others upon which the skipper may base his or her decision without the OA being accountable.
20.2 The responsibility of the OA and its partners is limited to ensuring the smooth running of the event;
any further responsibility that the OA may agree to would have to be contractual and explicit. Further
more, any checks the Race Committee undertakes, shall have the sole aim of ensuring that the current
race rules and documents have been adhered to.
www.globe40.com | +33 (0)1 47 04 61 14 | contact@sirius-events.com I 12NOTICE OF RACE
20.3 The monitoring, and in particular telephone monitoring, as well as fleet tracking that the OA might
provide, should be considered by skippers as optional and uncertain, and under no circumstances as an
extra safety measure which may be relied upon. Any request made to a member of the OA would not
make the OA accountable unless the latter has expressly agreed to this request, either directly or
through one of its official spokesmen/women. This particularly applies to various requests for help and
even assistance at sea.
20.4 Skippers will be held personally responsible for any material or physical damage to themselves, their
boat, other boats, or any third party or the property of a third party. Skippers shall be accountable to
the OA for taking out all the necessary insurance to cover civil liabilities and damages incurred for the
race. The absence of third-party liability in no way makes the OA or its partners accountable.
20.5 Reminder of the RRS 1.1: all boats are compelled to offer all possible assistance to any other boat or
person in danger, should they be in a position to do so, in accordance with rule 1.1 of the RRS and the
international measures in force. In this case and after changing course, the skipper must immediately
supply Race Management with all the details required to ensure there is the possibility of the International
Jury later awarding the time back for changing course.
21/ USE OF RIGHTS
The owner or user of the boat and any possible sponsor, by the sole fact of their participation, agree that the
OA can use, for promotional purposes or other, any text, photo or video footage relating to their participation
in the event to be published or broadcast via the press, television or internet (non-exhaustive list).
